REVIEWS: “King Kong” and “The Making of King Kong”

In this comparative review, I take a look at the $35M “King Kong” musical on Broadway—complete with its thrilling stagecraft and lackluster material underneath—and the decidedly low-budget Off-Off-Broadway play, “The Making of King Kong”—a playful deconstruction of the “Kong” myth and its attendant problems of white patriarchy, colonialism, and sexism.

Christiani Pitts and Eric William Morris to star in "King Kong"; Classic Stage Company announces its 2018-2019 season; a good read on classical music; Chita Rivera, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Sara Krulwich to receive special awards; nominees for the Outer Critics Circle Awards, Off-Broadway Alliance Awards, and the Drama Desk Awards; Soon-Tek Oh dead at 85; Jeanette Gertrude dead at 103
